Flareon

A PSA 10 currently sells for about £3,041, raw the card sits at £57.70 — 52,7× as much. Of 710 copies already graded, 8 % received a 10 and 34 % a 9. Mathematically, submitting returns £589.99 on average, before fees and shipping. Rule of thumb: submit when the value at a realistic grade is at least double the raw value — which is the case here. Centering decides it: an off-centre card will not get a 10. The grade distribution comes from the PSA Population Report; people pre-sort before submitting, so your own hit rate may differ.

Across 48 auctions the median was £58.81, across 109 fixed-price sales £61.12. There is no meaningful difference — what matters here is how fast you want to sell.

Half of all sales fell between £28.76 and £65.37, with a median of £44.75. Selling fast lands you nearer the lower end; with patience, good photos and a complete title the upper end is achievable.

The cheapest genuine sales were around £17.22. Offers well below £10.33 are typically fakes, mislabelled cards or a different variant — ask for photos of all four borders and a close-up of the surface.

From real sales: English £59.93 (171), German £42.94 (10). English fetches about 40 % more.

lastsold uses only real sales — eBay plus auction houses like Goldin & Fanatics — recent sales count more (recency weighting), outliers and fakes are removed. It's not an estimate but actual sold prices, separated by condition, language and grading.
